...Christmas day, the clubs took the fast train on the Baltimore and Ohio for Cincinnati. Much to the disgust of the students they were compelled to eat an unworthy Christmas dinner in the crowded station dining-room at Baltimore.

...tumult of young passins, the battered features, the contused limbs, the broken bones, the sprains and welts, and gashes, and bloodstains that made the record of last Saturday's football contest over at Cambridge are enough to fill the thoughts of one who reads them with mingled horror and disgust."
